Abstract

This study explores the transformation of the Dayak Desa livestock trading system in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan, from a traditional barter-based exchange to a modern market-oriented economy. Historically, economic life in the Dayak Desa community was embedded within cultural norms and social relations, reflecting Polanyi’s (2014) concept of the embedded economy. Barter served as the dominant system, with livestock such as pigs and chickens functioning both as food sources and social capital. The renti—a local, body-based measurement unit—was used to determine the value and size of pigs, representing an indigenous knowledge system transmitted through generations. Using a qualitative ethnographic-historical approach, the study draws upon interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving customary leaders and traders. Findings reveal that barter practices reflected social reciprocity rather than profit motives, while the gradual integration of money introduced a hybrid economic system combining traditional and market logics. The conversion of renti to metric kilograms (1 renti ≈ 15–40 kg) illustrates the community’s adaptive response to market modernization while retaining cultural integrity. The persistence of traditional valuation mechanisms signifies the resilience of indigenous economic institutions amid external economic pressures. The study concludes that the Dayak Desa trade system embodies a form of institutional layering, balancing customary governance with modern efficiency. It emphasizes the need to document, preserve, and integrate traditional measurement systems into contemporary market practices to ensure sustainable, culturally grounded economic development. By aligning indigenous economic heritage with modernization, the Dayak Desa community demonstrates that cultural continuity and economic progress can coexist harmoniously

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Student Worksheets (LKPD) in differentiated learning on economic activities in senior high schools. The background of this study is based on the importance of innovative teaching materials that can adapt to the diverse learning needs of students in accordance with the principles of differentiated learning in the Independent Curriculum. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method with data analysis techniques in the form of calculating averages, percentages, and effectiveness tests. The research respondents consisted of ninth-grade students of SMA Nusantara Indah who used differentiation-based LKPD in the process of learning economic activities. The results of the study indicate that the use of differentiated LKPD is effective in increasing active participation, understanding of economic concepts, and student learning motivation. Thus, differentiation-based LKPD can be used as an alternative innovative teaching material that supports the optimal achievement of learning objectives at the senior high school level.

Abstract

This study examines the traditional measurement system used by the Dayak Desa community in rice and paddy transactions, with a focus on its cultural significance and conversion into modern metric units. In this community, rice is not only a staple commodity but also functions as a socio-economic instrument embedded in cultural practices, including barter systems, customary obligations, and daily exchanges. The persistence of traditional measurement units—gatang, mok, and kulak—reflects the integration of economic activities with local knowledge and cultural values. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach supported by simple quantitative analysis. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving customary leaders, farmers, and local traders in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan. Quantitative measurements were conducted using digital scales to determine the conversion of traditional units into kilograms and liters. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, combined with empirical averaging techniques for measurement conversion. The findings reveal that the traditional measurement system is structured hierarchically according to transaction scale, where gatang is used for small quantities, mok for medium transactions, and kulak for large volumes. Empirical results indicate that one gatang is equivalent to approximately 0.20 kilograms (0.25 liters), one mok to 0.25 kilograms (0.30 liters), and one kulak to 2.5 kilograms (3 liters). These results demonstrate that traditional measurement practices possess internal consistency and can be reliably converted into standardized metric units. The study contributes to the literature by integrating ethnometrology and economic perspectives, highlighting how traditional measurement systems can coexist with modern standards. Practically, the conversion framework reduces information asymmetry and enhances fairness in market transactions. The study concludes that preserving traditional measurement systems while enabling their compatibility with modern metrics is essential for sustaining cultural identity and improving economic integration in rural communities
